WHERE: No. 11 Cavendish Square, London, U.K.
THE ONLY MEDIA EVENT SOLELY DEDICATED TO CELEBRATING SUSTAINABLE, POSITIVE IMPACT STORYTELLING!
We believe positive impact storytelling is to create travel content, that inspires tourism that enriches the lives of both visitors and the host communities.
A re-imagined and expanded format, will now take place over 2 days, and incorporate a new marketplace, to build and foster relationships and a revamped enrichment discussion programme, to shape and amplify our collective voice.
The Awards (IGMAs) now in their 4th year, will be held on Monday evening, and will recognise excellence across the global travel media landscape, celebrating individuals and organisations bringing to life stories of sustainable, positive impact tourism.
The marketplace is for positive impact suppliers, tour operators, destinations, and industry partners, looking to share their stories with the media, through one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings.
The engaging and interactive enrichment sessions will provide thoughtful content, practical learnings and an opportunity to share and exchange knowledge with one another.
The full list of winners for 2025 can be found HERE

highlights from 2025
There are plenty of travel media awards out there but there were none recognising the positive impact that storytelling can and should have. So well done to Inspire Global for launching these much-needed and timely awards.
